BE AT WINTER'S DEMAND

At Winter's Demand

By

Kirsten Blacketer

Author Bio:

Stick
her in the middle of a chaotic home with two children, a hyperactive dog, and a
camouflage-wearing husband, and she can cook and clean with the best of
them. But when the sun goes down and the children are nestled in bed fast
asleep, she tucks away her pots and broom and like Cinderella she transforms.

Her
characters creep forth from the dark recesses of her mind taking their places
in the castles and forests built from her words. No simpering heroines linger
there with forlorn gazes turned to the horizon, waiting for their Prince
Charming. They straighten their spine, arming themselves with blade and bow,
prepared to do their part in defense of their honor and destiny. She breathes
life into the women she believes our ancestors to be, showing how they lived
and loved with passion and grace.

Never
bored by the tales still left to tell, she battles the ever-sarcastic muse in
her quest for romance.

A spirited country girl at the
mercy of a silent thief harboring a dangerous secret.

Working at the inn Judith fears a
constant state of boredom. One snowy night, three strange gentlemen appear and
topple her quiet haven into chaos. The leader kidnaps her sister, leaving her
under the stern eye of his silent compatriot. Her sister had warned her one day
she'd cross the line. With him, that doesn't take more than a frying pan to the
head.

Simon detests disorder. Edmund
charged him with one mission: find the jewels. But he never counted on a
feisty, curvaceous hellcat standing in his way. She demands to be reunited with
her sister in London, and Simon is more than willing to leave her on his
friend's doorstep. When she's kidnapped at King's Cross Station, he must summon
all his unsavory resources to find the woman who unwittingly stole his heart.

Excerpt:

As she washed the handful of dishes, Judith lost herself in
thought. When the door to the kitchen swung open, she jumped and spun around,
nearly dropping the bowl in her hand. She pressed a soapy hand to her chest to
still her fluttering heart and glanced up.

The silent stranger stood in the center of the room, his
gaze slowly moving along the walls. It slid past her without hesitation. Judith
frowned.

"You're about to drive me bloody insane," she said
through gritted teeth before turning back to her task. She finished the rest of
the dishes, dried them, and put them away.

He never wavered from his task. When she passed him to put
the pot on the shelf, his gaze fell on her for a brief moment. Before she could
even discern the color of his eyes, he turned his back to her.

"Bloody knob," Judith swore as she passed him
again. His scent of leather mingling with notes of tobacco and vanilla blended
with the familiar aroma of baked bread. Stopping behind him, she suppressed the
urge to bury her face in his coat. Her eyes drifted closed, and she inhaled,
drawing the scents deep, letting them linger.

When she opened her eyes, a pair of smoky hazel eyes stared
at her. The faint shadow of a beard highlighted his jaw. His sharp features
accentuated by the way his black hair slicked back into a queue.

"Fetch me some of that stew."

Judith blinked twice, unsure if she heard him correctly or
not.

"You can talk. Saints above, would it hurt you to
polish your manners?" She pushed past him and reached for the ladle. Her hand
hovered over the spoon, and then she dropped it to her side to hide the tremor.
Her heart hammered in her chest as she turned back to him and met his cool
expression with a scowl.

Judith propped her hands on her hips. "Tell me where my
sister is first. You can at least do that much. I deserve to know where she is
and if she's even safe..." The words died on her lips as he reached into
his coat pocket and withdrew a dangerous looking silver pistol.

"The stew, and bread too." He leveled the barrel
at her and cocked the hammer.

Judith swallowed the scream clawing at the back of her
throat. With a nod, she ladled the stew into a large bowl and cut a loaf of
bread in half. The knife nearly slipped from her grip. She pinched her eyes
closed for a moment, refusing to look up and see the hollow barrel pointed at
her head. Once she set the meal on the counter before her, she backed away
without a word and wiped her hands on her apron in an attempt to hide their
trembling.

He uncocked the revolver and slid it back beneath his coat.
Without another word, he picked up the food and retreated into the parlor.

When the door swung shut, Judith dropped boneless to the
floor. Her heart hammered in her chest as her hands shook.

A gun! He pointed a gun at me. She buried her face in her hands and
felt the hot tears against her palms.
